Here in Taiwan, Louis Vuittons are all over the place. The most popular ones have got to be the Monogram Neverfull and Speedy. I swear I see at least 10 of each a day (well on days when I do go out, I am quite the hermit )

the 'really' most popular are Longchamp, Vanessa Bruno and Sonia Rykiel, Eastpack and AA ...
then comes Louis Vuitton (there's a shop in every big town of France I have one there), Goyard (seriously it has increased ! a lot lot more) and the Evelyne of Hermès (Hermès is pretty spread in France, too, I think ... I have a shop in my town - +/- 500,000 inhabitants - and a town like Dijon - +/-150,000 inhabitants - have one too !) and Balenciaga (definitely a lot lot lot more)

In L.A., nondescript nondesigner bags are plentiful. I see an awful lot of Rebecca Minkoffs, especially the Nikki. Lots of LVs and knockoffs thereof.

I can't believe how much of what is for sale in most stores save Saks etc. and Nordstrom is frighteningly cheap-looking (not meaning monetarily really... just really bad and icky). Some cute BCBG bags but the zippers were terrible, I thought. And at Nordstrom level, there are fewer and fewer bags that are to my tastes these days anyway. Lots of $250-$800 bags with thin leather or in patent, really bright hardware and a sort of corporate look, not comfortable for carrying.
